Water Pump Seepage?

Notice what appears to be seepage around my electric water pump, especially around the plug area. However it looks more like oil to me and I am not familiar with them failing like this.

Any thoughts from those with more experience?

Is that oil on top of the e-torx bolt in right side of the pic? Ive got alot of parts like that, which are caked up from oil leaks. Now my leaks are gone im slowly cleaning everything off. Check nothing is leaking above it. Might be valve cover

Yeah, the car is new to me but sat for quite some time under the previous owner. I need to clean everything up to help determine fresh oil leaks from just old residue. I'll take a look at the valve cover.
